The market has crashed like 25%, so yes it is priced in to some extent. Also, small businesses aren't traded on the stock market, so I think it makes sense that the market wouldn't be affected by this. In the long run, small businesses failing probably helps companies like Amazon and Walmart, which are publicly traded.

That doesn't represent the whole market of course but markets now don't really reflect the situation very well. You can't have a scenario when most folks go into super-saving mode and companies like Amazon or Google maintain their profits. Who the heck would advertise with Google for same prices? I already abandoned non-nencessary shopping (basically food & fuel) for at least few months, Amazon will have to feel this too.
